Those sled necks guys must have some big tow rigs. How did they manage those up Keystone?

Nope just sled decks. Derick Wood is like 22 and just a regular guy that loves to huck 100 foot cliffs....

Pascal the filmer for Slednecks is contracted out to film. And they have almost no footage this season.

No helicopters yesterday, everything was sledded in.


PS: There is no money in this for the riders....

For some reason Kallon decided to PIN his sled into a tree. Arctic Cats are tuff! Me and Alek both agreed
that his Pro or my Doo would have been wrote off.

Doing some serious logging here....

Ouch!!
It looks like it shoulda been a write off up against the tree.

Tuff sled. It broke the tree!

Haha, that's a substantial tree to take down with a sled and still ride it out. Puuuuure talent right there knowing exactly where to hit the tree hahah

You remember my buddy carter on the green turbo cat like that one? His sleds been up and down every tree in Revy, they are by far the toughest sleds on the snow right now I figure. My pro woulda been wrote off a thousand times if it's went thru that sort of abuse.

Interestingly in the AC videos for the 2016 M their product manager mentions that they would love to be able to brag that their sleds are the lightest, but that they don't want to give up that toughness to achieve it. So they are willing to live with losing that battle and just whittle away at the weight when they find places they can do so, without making it more fragile. Bull****, maybe, but could be the truth.

They are built the strongest no doubt about it. Conversely Polaris is the lightest, but also the weakest from what ive seen.

So kinda depends what you're looking for in a sled. Light or Strong, can't necessarily have it all currently.

Still lots of room for improvement on these new sleds.
